THA

in Home Care Coding General
Our pt had a THA and our nurse is doing dressing changes on the incision site, is this included in the Z47.1 code or should I code the surgical dressing change also Z48.01? I just want a second opinion since Ive never heard of this situation. I want to avoid up coding.

Thanks :)
